At GTC Taipei, NVIDIA said it is expanding its DRIVE Hyperion platform and enlisting automakers, suppliers, AV developers and mobility operators to speed global Level 4 robotaxi rollouts across Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
At GTC Taipei, NVIDIA announced a major expansion of its DRIVE Hyperion ecosystem, recruiting automakers, tier‑one suppliers, AV software developers and ride‑hailing operators to accelerate the deployment of Level 4 robotaxis worldwide. The company framed the move as a step toward industrializing autonomous mobility by providing a common technical foundation that links in‑vehicle compute, sensors and safety software — an infrastructure it says is needed for robotaxis to move from pilots to scalable commercial fleets.
Several partner initiatives were named. Foxconn will expand development with planned deployments in Taiwan beginning in Kaohsiung. VinFast is working with Autobrains to pursue Southeast Asian rollouts. HUMAIN is targeting work in Saudi Arabia. Each collaboration aims to integrate DRIVE Hyperion into region‑specific programs and commercial plans.
Uber said it will integrate multiple DRIVE Hyperion‑powered autonomous fleets into its global ride‑hailing network, and an Autobrains collaboration is slated to launch a robotaxi program in Munich later this year. NVIDIA described the overall effort as spanning Asia, Europe and the Middle East as more manufacturers and AV developers join the ecosystem.
NVIDIA outlined the technical stack behind DRIVE Hyperion: high‑performance DRIVE AGX in‑vehicle compute coupled with the NVIDIA Halos full‑stack safety system, which includes Halos OS built on safety‑certified DriveOS, a compatible multimodal sensor suite and DRIVE AV software purpose‑built for highly automated driving. Founder and CEO Jensen Huang described autonomous mobility as entering an “industrial scaling moment,” arguing that vehicles will need AI infrastructure that can perceive, reason and operate safely.
